Defend Our Children, Inc

We have exclusive rights to manufacturer a patented ballistic safety desk and equip schools with enough desks to defend their children in the event of imminent danger.

By providing a safe space and adjusting existing policies in schools and local law enforcement we can truly minimum the effectiveness of the above "problem topics". Attacking students will become much more difficult with safe space desks. With adjusting fire alarm policies the students have the option to defend in place while the fire alarm is verified. The desks give students a place to protect themselves from Bullying and Sexual abuse. In the event of a tornado or other unexpected inclement weather, the desks give the student a place to take cover and wait for the event to end.

The option of a safe space to take cover and defend in place until first responders arrive is how we increase survival rates.

This safety space created by the desk combined with adapting existing school policies has potential to solve many issues in education: School shootings, Inclement weather, Bullying, and sexual harassment.

Student Safe Space Desks: Our progress so far consist of a finished computer generated model. A prototype has been built. First articles are in the pipeline and then testing to achieve protection ratings.

Case Studies: Case study work must take place. Case studies including existing policies and revised policies for schools, law enforcement, fire alarm responses, and bullying/sexual abuse. These studies require a team of law enforcement, school administration and our charity personnel.

Grants: We are actively applying for testing and hardening grants. Grants are a huge part of our nonprofit work.
